 NEEDLE DISPOSAL BOX ALSO AVAILABLE AT THIS LOCATION!\n\nThis initiative ad
 dresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Many Americans are 
 not aware that medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly suscept
 ible to diversion\, misuse and abuse. Studies show that the majority of mi
 sused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends\, including 
 from home medicine cabinets. In addition\, many Americans do not know how 
 to properly dispose of unused medication\, often flushing it down the toil
 et or throwing it away - both potential safety and health hazards.\n\nDrug
  take back days and permanent drop boxes also support the goals of the Eco
 -City Alexandria initiative to promote a place where people can live healt
 hier and economically productive lives\, while reducing their impact on th
 e environment.\n\nThe service is free and anonymous\; no questions asked.\
